Codex Releases its Whitepaper "App 1.0 vs. Web 2.0"
While software increasingly moves to the cloud, mobile apps have moved in the other direction with locally installed native apps dominating the marketplace. Businesses looking to release apps are faced with the dilemma of increased development costs for a better user experience, versus a more portable and lower cost but less attractive app. In this paper Codex explores the options and how to optimise your mobile strategy.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boston, USA and London, UK - Thursday, 29 April 2010
One of the pillars of Web 2.0 is that cloud computing will prevail over locally installed software. However when it comes to mobile software, the tide has gone in the other direction with software being delivered overwhelmingly as local, native apps. With Android already giving Apple a run for its money, and others potentially following behind, developers are faced with the dilemma of how to build cost-effective, portable apps that don't sacrifice aesthetic value or use of mobile feature such as camera, accelerometer and geo-location.
"While mobile software will likely move to the cloud in the long term, for now businesses and developers are faced with some tough strategic design decisions on whether to develop mobile apps or web apps," said Michael Oh, co-founder of Codex Development. "Businesses need to weigh multiple factors - audience, longevity, and user experience - on an app by app basis - to make the right decisions."
In this white paper "App 1.0 vs. Web 2.0", Codex explores the issues facing businesses looking to release apps, and how to arrive at the optimal strategy. To download the white paper and all Codex research please go to http://www.codexdev.com/research
